Book Study 

Is your PLC interested in earning Professional Development Points (PDPs) for participation in a Professional Learning Community Book Study?  If so, consider designing and implementing an experience that addresses your needs 

Book Study requests are submitted using the Professional Learning portal.  

Contact your building administrator if you would like to set up a Book Study experience and have PDPs awarded upon successful completion.

Book Study Experience Considerations:

• Book Study experiences are managed by individual schools and offices.

• Book Study experiences must have a clear learning objective.

• The learning objective should be connected to an identified need/goal/target (ex: School Improvement Plan, System Initiative, etc.).

• The experience must include at least 5 staff participants.

• Up to a maximum of 15 PDPs can be awarded for a collaborative Book Study experience.

Participants may not earn PDPs for the time spent reading the book.
